The '''UNSC ''Io''''' was a [[UNSC cruiser|cruiser]] in the [[UNSC Navy]] during the [[Human-Covenant War]].
The UNSC Io was a Cruiser in the UNSC Navy during the Human-Covenant War.  It was heavily damaged during an engagement in the 18 Scorpii System, where it and two other ships were saved by the timely arrival of the frigate Bellerophon and other Insurrectionist ships. 
 
==Background==
The ''Io'' was heavily damaged during an engagement in the [[18 Scorpii System]], where it and two other ships were saved by the timely arrival of the frigate [[Bellicose|''Bellerophon'']] and other [[Insurrection]]ist ships. Afterward, Admiral [[Preston Cole]] deemed that the cruiser was damaged beyond repair and intended to follow the recommendation of a Captain [[Wren]]  to use it as a [[Wikipedia:Fire ship|"fire ship"]].
 
The ship was at the [[Battle of Psi Serpentis]] and was destroyed. Later speculation indicated that Admiral Cole may have used the ship as a decoy to convince both the [[The Covenant|Covenant]] and the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] that he was killed during the action when he may have in fact escaped in his flagship, the [[UNSC Everest|UNSC ''Everest'']].<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions]]''', "[[The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J. Cole]]"</ref>
 
==Trivia==
It is most likely named after the [[Io|moon of the same name]].


==List of appearances==
